Found

Claire Toomey

unsigned

WE SAY

We first featured teenage singer songwriter Claire in July of last year. Now her career is moving up the gears - she recently signed up with American management (Avenue, whose roster has included Isaac Hayes, Mica Paris, Grace Jones and several other greats). Found is a recent song, one of several she has written with Judie Tzuke and Graham Kearnes (Lucie Silvas). When it comes to vocals, Claire has really got it. She plays the Bedford in Balham tonight and appears on the Uncut stage at Guilfest on Friday July 15.
